Warning: Always keep electrical components away from small children.

FLYING SAFETY To ensure the safety of yourself and others, please observe the following precautions: Oo Have regular maintenance performed. Although your 14MZ protects the model memories with non-volatile EEPROM memory (which does not require periodic replacement) and not a battery, it still should have regular checkups. We recommend sending your system to the Futaba Service Center annually during your non-flying season for a complete checkup and service. Oo Use the Fail-Safe safety feature to set the throttle to Jow-idle In case of signal loss or RX battery failure. Engine power will be automatically reduced to help limit personal or property damage. Refer to the Failsafe Setting Procedure listed in the index. Receiver Ni-Cd Battery Oo Charge the batteries! (See Charging the batteries listed in the index for details.) Always recharge the receiver batteries for at least 8 hours before each flying session. A low battery will soon die, causing loss of control and a crash. When you begin your flying session, reset your timer, and during the session pay attention to the duration of usage. CAUTION: The initial charge on new NiCd receiver batteries should be done for 15 hours using the slow-charger that came with the radio system. This will “condition” the batteries so that the next charge may be done using the fast-charger of your choice. If the initial charge is done with a fast-charger the batteries may not reach their full cap- acity and you may be flying with batteries that are only partially charged. Where to Fly We recommend that you fly at a recognized model airplane flying field. You can find model clubs and fields by asking your nearest hobby dealer, or in the US by contacting the Academy of Model Aeronautics. You can also contact the national Academy of Model Aeronautics (AMA), which has more than 2,500 chartered clubs across the country. Through any one of them, instructor training programs and insured newcomer training are available. Contact the AMA at the address or toll-free phone number below.

Lithium-ION Battery Safety and Handling instructions IMPORTANT! The Lithium-lon (Li-Ion) batteries included in the 14MZ transmitter are not to be confused with Lithium-Polymer (LiPo) batteries, or any other type of rechargeable battery (including NiCd's and NiMH). Li-Ion batteries require special charging criteria different than other rechargeable batteries. Use only the Futaba lithium ion transmitter charger included with this set for, or other chargers approved by Futaba to charge the Li-Ion batteries in the 14MZ transmitter. It is important to understand the operating characteristics of lithium-ion (Li-Ion) batteries. Always read the specifications printed on the label of your Li-Ion battery and charger prior to use. Failure to follow the proceeding precautions can quickly result in severe, permanent damage to the batteries and its surroundings and possibly result in a FIRE! IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS O Do not attempt to disassemble Li-Ion packs or cells. C1] Do not allow Li-Ion cells to come in contact with moisture or water at any time. C1] Always provide adequate ventilation around Li-Ion batteries during charge, discharge, while in use, and during storage. O Do not leave a Li-Ion battery unattended at any time while being charged or discharged. C1] Do not attempt to charge Li-Ion batteries with a charger that is NOT designed for Li-Ion batteries, as permanent damage to the battery and charger could result. O Always charge Li-Ion batteries in a fireproof location. Do not charge or discharge Li-Ion batteries on carpet, a cluttered workbench, near paper, plastic, vinyl, leather or wood, or inside an R/C model or full sized automobile! Monitor the charge area with a smoke or fire alarm, and have a lithium-approved “ABC type” fire extinguisher available at all times. C1] Do not charge Li-Ion batteries at currents greater than the “1C” rating of the battery (“C” equals the rated capacity of the battery). O Do not allow Li-Ion cells to overheat at any time! Cells which reach greater than 140 degrees Fahrenheit (600C) should be placed in a fireproof location. C1] It is normal for the batteries to become warm during charging, but if the charger or battery becomes excessively hot disconnect the battery from the charger immediately!! Always inspect a battery which has previously overheated for potential damage, and do not re-use if you suspect it has been damaged in any way. O Do not use a Li-Ion battery if you suspect physical damage has occurred to the pack. Carefully inspect the battery for even the smallest of dents, cracks, splits, punctures or damage to the wiring and connectors. DO NOT allow the battery's internal electrolyte to get into eyes or on skin—wash affected areas immediately if they come in contact with the electrolyte. If in doubt, place the battery in a fire-proof location for at least 30 minutes. C1] Do not store batteries near an open flame or heater. O Do not discharge Li-Ion batteries at currents which exceed the discharge current rating of the battery. C1] Always store Li-Ion cells/packs in a secure location away from children. Compact Flash (CF) Card Handling Instructions Follow these precautions when handling the CF card included in your 14MZ transmitter. O Never remove the CF card or turn off power while C1] Do not expose the CF card to dirt, moisture, water or entering data. fluids of any kind. O Never store the CF card where it may be subject to C1] Always hold the CF card by the edges during installa- strong static electricity or magnetic fields. tion and removal. O Do not expose the CF card to direct sunlight, excessive C1] Be certain to insert the CF card in the correct direction. humidity or corrosive environments.

O Always pay particular attention to the flying fields’ rules, as well as the presence and location of spectators, the wind direction, and any obstacles on the field. Be very careful flying in areas near power lines, tall buildings, or communication facilities as there may be radio interference in their vicinity. If you must fly away from a club field, be sure there are no other modelers flying within a three-to-five-mile range, or you may lose control of your aircraft or cause someone else to lose con- trol. O Before flying, be sure that the frequency you intend to fly with is not in use, and secure any frequency control device (pin, tag, etc.) for that frequency before turning on your transmitter. It is never possible to fly two or more mod- els on the same frequency at the same time. Even though there are different types of modulation (AM, FM, PCM), only one model may be flown on a single frequency at any one time. O Stop flying long before your batteries become low on charge. Do not rely on your radios low-battery warning sys- tems, which are intended only as a precaution, to tell you when to recharge. Always check your transmitter and receiver batteries prior to each flight. O To prevent possible damage to your radio gear, turn the power switches on and off in the proper sequence: . Set the throttle stick to the idle position, or otherwise disarm your motor/engine. . Fully extend the transmitter antenna. . Turn on the transmitter power and allow your transmitter to reach its home screen. . Confirm the proper model memory has been selected. . Turn on your receiver power. . Test all controls. If a servo operates abnormally, don't attempt to fly until you determine the cause of the problem. (For PCM systems only: Test to ensure that the Failsafe settings are correct by waiting at least 2 minutes after adjusting then, turning the transmitter off and confirming the proper surface/throttle movements. Turn the transmitter back on.) Start your engine. Complete a full range check. After flying, bring your throttle stick to idle position, engage any kill switches or otherwise disarm your motor/engine.

10. Turn off receiver power.

11. Turn off transmitter power.

QuEWD= © œ If you do not turn on your system in this order, you may damage your servos or control surfaces, flood your engine, or in the case of electric-powered or gasoline-powered models, the engine may unexpectedly turn on and cause a severe injury. O While you are getting ready to fly, if you place your transmitter on the ground, be sure that the wind won’t tip it over. If it is knocked over, the throttle stick may be accidentally moved, causing the engine to speed up. Also, dam- age to your transmitter may occur. O Before taxiing, be sure to extend the transmitter antenna to its’ full length. A collapsed antenna will reduce your flying range and cause a loss of control. It is a good idea to avoid pointing the transmitter antenna directly at the model, since the signal is weakest in that direction. O Don’t fly in the rain! Water or moisture may enter the transmitter through the antenna or stick openings and cause erratic operation or loss of control. If you must fly in wet weather during a contest, be sure to cover your transmitter with a waterproof barrier. Never fly if lightning is expected. O Never turn the transmitter off during flight! Switching the transmitter off and on during flight will very likely cause a crash because of the time required for the transmitter to "reboot" and become fully functional.

How to turn ON/OFF the power of the transmitter Windows” CE is installed as a built-in operating system in the T14MZ transmitter. Compared to the conventional system, the T14MZ takes extra time for internal processing when it is turned on/off. For safety reasons, the radio will be emmiting only after you push the confirmation button when turning on the power. Please follow the instructions for turning on/off the transmitter. When turning on the power of the transmitter

1. Turn on the power switch of the transmitter.

• After initialization of the transmitter is over, the frequency. confirmation screen pops up, and LED monitor turns on pink.

2. Check the frequency shown on the screen. If

itis OK, then click the button "YES". *LED monitor turns to green and the transmitter begins to emit radio waves. *If you push the button "NO", then the transmitter will not emit radio waves. Then, you will see the home screen and you will be able to set conditions. Start-up time; The time required for initializing the internal circuit of the transmitter varies between the previous time you turned off the transmitter and the time you will turned on the power. There are two “start up” modes for your transmitter, see below: Cold start; If you turn on the transmitter more than four hours after you last turned it off, the mode is “Cold start”. “Cold start” is normal for the first initial power up of the day. It will take about 30 seconds to be ready for use, as it takes time to à internal circuit of the transmitter. Hot start; If you turn on the transmitter less than four hours after you last turned it off, the mode is “Hot start”. Since initialization has been partly completed, the transmitter will be ready to use in several seconds. “Hot start” takes place usually at a second flight or later flight in the day. ÂA\ Warning Oonce you turn on the power, never shut off the power switch until the power becomes stable (or until the first screen shows up). If you turn off the power switch while the transmitter is going through the initialization process, the data could be damaged. Note: The start-up time may be a little bit slower when the CF card is installed compared to when the card is not. How to stop the transmitter Tum off the power switch of the transmitter. The internal circuit of the transmitter starts the shut down process including saving the set-up data. The LED will blink yellow while the transmitter is in the shutdown process. Oonce you turn off the power, never operate the power switch until the power shutdown process is fully completed. If you turn on the power switch again while the transmitter is still in the process of power shutdown, the data could be damaged. As the internal circuit of the transmitter stays on the standby mode for 4 hours after turning off the power, some part of the circuit is consuming current. When you turn on the power during this period, the power starts in “Hot mode”. But if more than four hours pass after shutting down the power, the power supply will completely shut down the internal circuit. When you turn on the power after this point, the power starts in “Cold start mode”. <Basic Operation> 25

Airplane/glider basic setting procedure

1. Model addition and call

Initial setting assigns 1 model to the TI4MZ transmitter. The Model Select function of the Linkage Menu is used to add models and to call models which are already set. This is convenient when calling a model after its name has been registered. (The data of up to 30 models can be saved to the transmitter. Data can also be saved to the accessory Data-Pack.) The currently called model name is displayed at the top of the screen. Before flying and before changing any settings, always confirm the model name. When a new model was added, the Model type select screen and Frequency/Modulation mode/ Receiver ID setup screen automatically appear. After changing or confirming the model, turn the power off and on according to the instructions on the screen. Please be aware that the transmitter will stop transmitting when you change the model.

2. Model type selection

Select the model type matched to the fuselage with the Model Type select function of the Linkage Menu. For an airplane, select the model type from among the 3 types: airplane, glider, and motor glider. When the Wing type select screen is displayed and the wing type is selected when selecting the model type, the Tail type select screen is displayed. Select the tail type matched to the fuselage. There are 13 wing types and 3 tail types for airplane, glider, and motor glider.

Link the ailerons, elevators, throttle, rudder, etc. in accordance with the model's instruction manual. For a description of the connection method, see the Receiver and Servos Connection. Note: The channel assignment of the T14MZ is different from that of our existing systems. Note that even for the same ‘“airplane model”, when the wing type and tail type are different, the channel assignment may be different. (The channel assigned to each function can be checked at the Function menu of the Linkage Menu.) + When the direction of the linkage is reversed, adijust the direction with the Reverse function of the Linkage Menu. + Connect the throttle linkage so carburetor is open at full trim and full open then the throttle can be cut. e Adjust the neutral position and rudder angle with the linkage, and fine tune them with the Sub Trim and End Point functions (rudder angle adjustment). To protect the linkage, a limit position can also be set with the End Point function. The End Point function can adjust the amount of up/down and left/right movement, limit, and servo speed of each channel. <Model Basic Setting Procedure> 39

4. Throttle cut setting

Throttle cut can be performed with one touch by a switch without changing the throttle trim position. Set throttle cut with the Throttle Cut function of the Linkage Menu. Afier activating the throttle cut function and selecting the switch, adjust the throttle position so that the carburetor becomes full open. For safety, the throttle cut function operates the throttle stick in the 1/3 or less (slow side) position. riwote cu 9]

5. Idle down setting

The idling speed can be lowered with one touch by a switch without changing the throttle trim position. Perform this setting with the Idle Down function of the Linkage Menu. After activating the Idle Down function and selecting the switch, adjust the idle down speed. For safety, the idle down function acts only when the throttle stick is in the 1/3 or les (slow side) position. *While the Throttle Cut function is in operation, the Idle Down function does not work.

AFR function is used to adjust the throw and operation curve of the stick, lever, and switch functions (CHI to CH12, and V1 to V4) for each flight condition. This is normally used after End Point (ATV) has defined the maximum throw directions (End Point acts on ALL flight condition settings). When mixing is applied from one channel to another channel, both channels can be adjusted at the same time by adjusting the operation rate through the AFR function.

This function is used when an air brake is necessary when taking off or diving, etc. 40 <Model Basic Setting Procedure> The preset elevators and flaps (camber flap, brake flap) offset amount can be activated by a switch. The offset amount of the aileron, elevator, and flap servos can be adjusted as needed. Also the speed of the aileron, elevator, and flap servos can be adjusted. (IN side/OUT side) A delay can be set for each condition, and a Cut switch which will turn OFF the delay can be chosen. Trim amounts can be fine-tuned by setting a VR You can also set the Auto Mode, which will link Airbrake to a stick, switch, or dial. A separate stick switch or dial can also be set as the ON/OFF switch. aubiako 5] 12

8. Addition of flight conditions

The transmitter can install up to eight flight conditions per model. You can assign all switches including sticks, switches, trim levers and trim switches as flight-condition selection switches. You can also add delayed mixing to these functions in order to avoid sudden changes. Moreover, you can set priority order for flight conditions when you set more than one condition. In addition, you can copy conditions and/or change names of conditions. This command may also be used to define what switches and/or controls are used to activate each flight condition. The Condition Select function automatically allocates the Condition 1 for each model type. Condition 1 is the default condition, also referred to as Normal, and is the only one active when a new model type is defined. This condition is ahways on, and remains on until other conditions are activated by switches. The Condition Delay can be programmed for each channel. The Condition Delay is used to change the servo throw smoothly when switching conditions. #*When a new condition is added, "Conditionl" data is automatically copied. #Select the condition switch and set the new condition data in the switch ON state. However, if the group mode (Gr) was selected in advance, the same data will be input at all the conditions. Select the single mode (Sngl) and adjust he condition you want to change.

9. When tailless wing model selected

Tailless wing elevator operation uses elevator —camber mixing. This function cannot be performed at initial setting.

Helicopter basic setting procedure

1. Model addition and call

Default setting assigns 1 model to the T14MZ. To add new models or to call a model already set, use the Model Select function of the Linkage Menu. model eiect _] This is convenient when calling a model after registering the model names in advance. (The data of up to 30 models can be saved at the transmitter. Data can also be saved to the accessory Data-Pack.) The currently called model is displayed at the top of the screen. Before flying and before changing any settings, always confirm the model name. Please be aware that the transmitter will stop transmitting when you change the model. ‘When a new model is added, the Model Type Select screen and Frequency/Modulation mode/Receiver ID setup screen automatically appear. Change, or check that they match the type, frequency, and receiver type ofthe model used. Model Trpe.

2. Model type and swash type selection

When a separate model type is already selected, select helicopter with the Model Type function of the Linkage Menu, and then select the swash type matched to the fuselage. Model Trpe.

3. Flight condition addition

The transmitter can install up to eight flight conditions per model. You can assign all switches including sticks, switches, trim levers and trim switches as flight-condition selection switches. You can also add delayed mixing to these functions in order to avoid sudden changes. Moreover, you can set priority order for flight conditions when you set more than one condition. In addition, you can copy conditions and/or change names of conditions. This command may also be used to define what switches and/or controls are used to activate each flight condition. The Condition Select function automatically allocates the Condition 0 for each model type. Condition 0 is the default condition, also referred to as Normal, and is the only one active when a new model type is defined. This condition is always on, and remains on until other conditions are activated by switches. The Condition Delay can be programmed for each channel. The Condition Delay is used to change the servo throw smoothly when switching conditions. (General flight condition setting example) + Normal: (Use initial setting conditions/operate when switch OFF) Use from engine starting to hovering. + Idle up 1: (Switch setting example: Operate at SW-E center) Use in 5400 stall turn, loop, rolling stall turn, and other maneuvers. + Idle up 2: (Switch setting example: Operate at SW-E forward side) Use in rolls. « Throttle hold: {Switch setting example: Operate at SW-G forward side) Use in auto rotation. The priority is throttle hold/idle up 2/idle up 1/ normal. Throttle hold has the highest priority. Add other conditions, as required. <Model Basic Setting Procedure> 41

Connect the throttle rudder, ailerons, elevators, pitch, and other rudder linkages in accordance with the kit instruction manual. For a description of the connection method, see "Receiver and Servos Connection". *The channel assignment of the T14MZ is different from that of our existing systems. (The channel assigned to each function can be checked at the Function menu of the Linkage Menu.)

Servo Roverse_d] e Adjust the direction of operation of the gyro. {Gyro side function) e Connect the throttle linkage so that the carburetor becomes full open at full trim throttle cut is possible. e Basically, adjust the neutral position and rudder angle at the linkage side and fine tune with the Sub-Trim function and End Point function (rudder angle adjustment). To protect the linkage, a limit position can also be set with the End Point function. Su-Trim 42 <Model Basic Setting Procedure> + Swash plate correction (Except H-1 mode) Operation of the swash plate near the hovering point can be corrected by swash AFR function correction mixing. Use this when pitch, aileron, and elevator operation causes the swash plate to deviate from the normal direction. (Call the Swash setup—Swash details screen.) Pitch slow side and high side linkage correction is also possible. Adjust so that pitch operation causes the swash plate to move up and down in the horizontal state.

5. Throttle curve setting

This function adjusts the pitch operation curve in relation to the movement of the throttle stick for each condition. (7 points curve) The pitch curve can be freely selected from linear operation curve to smooth curve, and adjusted to match the curve you want by means of the T14MZ's powerful Curve Edit Function (6 types of curves can be selected). Up to 17 points can be set for linear or curve types. However, when using the 3 points or 5 points specified to create a curve, a simple and smooth curve can be created by selecting the curve type and reducing the number of input points to 3 or 5, and then entering the specified value at the corresponding points that you created. <Setting example> Call the throttle curve of each condition with the condition select switch. Normal curve adjustment Normal curve uses Normal (Linear) type and creates a basic pitch curve centered near hovering. This curve is adjusted together with the Throttle Curve (Normal) so that the engine speed is constant and up/down control is easiest. eldle up curve adjustment The high side pitch curve sets the maximum pitch regardless of the engine load. The low side pitch curve creates a curve matched for aerobatics (loop, roll, 8D, etc.]. Note: When the curve type is changed, the data is reset.

eThrottle hold curve adjustment The throttle hold curve is used when performing auto rotation dives. Confirm that the rate of the slowest position (0%) of the stick is 0% (initial setting). Be sure that when set to high side 100%, the curve of any condition does not exceed 100%. Example of pitch curve setting:

1. Call the pitch curve of each condition with

the condition select switch. *Pitch curve graph display can be switched to pitch angle direct reading display. A. Pitch curve (Normal) Make the pitch at hovering approximately +5°-6°, Set the pitch at hovering with the stick position at the 50% point as the standard. *Stability at hovering may be connected to the throttle curve. Adjustment is casy by using the hovering throttle function and hovering pitch function together. . Pitch curve (Idle up 1) The idle up 1 pitch curve function creates a curve matched to aïrborne flight. Set to -7°-+129 as standard. C. Pitch curve [Idle up 2) The high side pitch setting is less than idle up 1. The standard is +89. D. Pitch curve (Hold) At auto rotation, use the maximum pitch at both the high and low sides. [Pitch angle setting example] Throtile hold: -7°-+12°

Call the Throttle Hold function from the Model Menu and switch to the throttle hold condition with the condition select switch. Note: Afinitial setting, the setting mode is ne group mode. Since this function is not used at other conditions, switch to the single mode before setting. eSetting to the state which activates the function The throttle hold function allows setting for throttle cut and switching of the function fixed at the idle position by switch for training. Either one or both functions can be performed. eHold position setting This function sets the servo operation position at throtile hold. (Throttle cut and idle positions) eOther settings When you want to link operation with stick manipulation, the Auto mode can be set. When you want to adiust the servo speed, adijust [Speed].

7. Pitch to RUD mixing setting

Use this function when you want to suppress the torque generated by the changes in the pitch and speed of the main rotor during pitch operation. Adjust it so that the nose does not swing in the rudder direction. However, when using a heading hold gyro like those shown below, do not use Pitch to RUD mixing. Note: When using a GY601, GY502, GY401, or other heading hold gyro, this Pitch to RUD mixing should not be used. The reaction torque is corrected at the gro side. When operating the gyro in the AVCS mode, the mixed signal will cause neutral deviation symptoms and the gyro Will not operate normally. Call the Pitch to RUD mixing function from the Model Menu, and set the curve for each condition. (At initial setting, this function is in the "INH" state. To use it, set it to the "ON" state.) (17 points curve) Curve setting of up to 17 points is possible. However, in the following setting example, a simple curve can be adjusted by using the [Linear] curve type. Note: At initial setting, the setting mode is the group mode. In this mode, the same contents are set at in all conditions. When you want to set the selected condition only, switch to the single mode. <Setting example> Call the mixing curve of each condition with the condition select switch. <Model Basic Setting Procedure> 43

1. A curve setting example is shown below.

A. Pitch to RUD mixing curve (Normal) Use the hovering system and set this curve to match take off and landing and vertical climb at a constant speed. *For this curve, use the initial setting [Linear] curve type and adjust the left and right rates in the [Separate] mode. Pitch to RUD mixing {Idle up 1) Use this curve in 540 stall turn, loop, and rolling stall tum, and adjust it so the fuselage is facing straïght ahead when heading into the wind.

*For this curve, [Linear] curve type can be used and the entire eurve can be lowered with the [Offset] button. C. Pitch to RUD mixing (Hold) This function is set so that the fuselage is facing straight ahead at straight line auto rotation. The pitch of the tail rotor becomes nearly O. *For this curve, [Linear] curve type can be used and the entire eurve can be lowered with the [Offset] button. «Other settings The mixing rise characteristic at pitch operation can be adjusted. An acceleration {(ACLR] function and deceleration (DCLR) function, which temporarily increase and decrease the mixing amount, can be set.

8. Swash Mix corrects aileron, elevator and

pitch interaction The swash mix function is used to correct the swash plate in the aileron (roll) direction and elevator (cyclic pitch) corresponding to each operation of each condition. sent [ru | ET TT

9. Throttle mixing setting

RPM loss caused by swash operation at aileron or elevator operation can be corrected with the Throttle Mix function of the Model Menu. How clockwise and counterclockwise torque is applied when pirouetting can also be corrected. 44 <Model Basic Setting Procedure>

10. Gyro sensitivity and mode switching

The gyro sensitivity and mode switching function is dedicated gyro mixing of the Model Menu, and can be set for each condition. Normal condition (hovering]: Gyro sensitivity maximum eldle up 1/idle up 2/Throttle hold: Gyro sensitivity minimum However, at auto rotation of a tail-driven helicopter, this function may not have any affect at high gyro sensitivity.

11. Throttle cut setting

Throttle cut provides an easy way to stop the engine, by flipping a switch with the throttle stick at idle. The action is not functional at high throttle to avoid accidental dead sticks. The switch’s location and direction must be chosen, as it defaults to NULL. *With throttle stick at idle, adjust the cut position until the engine consistently shuts off, but throttle linkage is not binding. When finished, touch the “Throttle Cut” button to exit.

Function When you select model and wing (swash) types, you will find that the optimized combinations of servo output channels and functions have been already preset. If you would like, on the function- setting screen of the linkage menu, you can freely change combinations of servo output channels, functions (aileron, elevator, etc), and input controllers (sticks, switches, trim levers and trim switches). You can also assign the same function to multiple servo output channels such as assigning elevator function to CH2 and CH3. DG1, DG2 (switch channels) These two channels can be used as switch channels. You can freely change combinations between servo output channels and input controllers (sticks, switches, trim levers and trim switches). VCI-VCA (virtual channels) These four channels can be set as virtual functions that do not have servo output channels. You can freely change combinations between functions (aileron, elevator, etc) and input controllers (sticks, switches, trim levers and trim switches). + Touch the [Function] button in the Linkage Menu to call the setup screen shown below. p'siun to Linkage Menu Channel assignment of each function can be changed. Note: In PCMG3 mode, combinations of three channels such as CH 1 through CH 3, CH 4 through CH 6. CH 7ihrough CH 9 and CH 10 through CH 12 work simultaneously. Futaba recommends that you use the standard optimized default combinations of channels and functions in order to minimize servo delay when you use multiple servos to control models such as swash mode helicopters and dual elevator airplanes or flaperon airplanes. Servo Output Channels For PCMG3 mode, you can set twelve linear channels and two digital channels. For PCM1024 mode, you can set eight linear channels and one digital channel.

Prog. Mixes Programmable mixing may be used to correct undesired tendencies of the aircrafi, and it may also be used for unusual control configurations. Mixing means that the motion of a command channel, called the "master," is added to the motion of the mixed channel, called "slave." You may choose to have the Masters trim added to the Slave channel response, if you desire ("Trim" setting). The mixing curve can be changed so that the undesired tendencies can be corrected effectively by setting the LINEARI/LINEAR2/EXP1/EXP2/VTR/ LINE/SPLINE modes. The Delay function can be programmed for each rate. The Delay is used to change the rate smoothly when switching. You may define Mixing ON/OFF switch, control or you may choose to Program mixing which can be freely customized. Up to 10 mixings can be used for each condition. [AIl model types] have mixing remaining on all the time. Offset-type mixing applies a fixed offset or preset to the programmed channel servo operation and may control up to four circuits simultaneously. The Programmable mixing includes a powerful link function, which allows Programmable mixing to be linked with the special mixing functions, or with other programmable mixing functions. The link function can be set up for Master and Slave channel individually. The slave channel AFR mode (STK-STK mode) may be selected, where the slave channel AFR and D'R settings are observed when Link function is set.
